This issue of the NACLA Report examines the consolidation of a hemispheric bordering regime whose violence now extends far beyond any single boundary line. Across the Americas, border enforcement operates through infrastructure projects, detention systems, policing practices, and migration controls that reshape everyday life within and across national territories. Under Trump’s second presidency, these logics have intensified inside the United States even as they continue to expand across the region.
Guest edited by Soledad Álvarez Velasco, Dawn Marie Paley, and P.S.D., this issue traces how border externalization structures governance across the hemisphere while documenting the forms of migrant resistance that continue to exceed it. “This dossier makes a clear political gesture,” write the guest editors in their introduction. “It insists on the political importance of both recording and archiving, by whatever means possible, the present moment of fascist bordering, while recovering the lessons of struggle forged across the region.”
